Pet care experience

Hi there! 👋🐾 I’m a huge animal lover and caring for pets truly brings me so much joy 💕 Spending time with animals is one of my favorite things in the world, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I fostered dogs for an amazing rescue in Arizona for about three years 🐶❤️ before moving to Virginia, and I’ve been happily settled in Niceville, FL since July 2017 ☀️🌴 I have lots of experience with rescue pets, senior animals, and pets that need a little extra TLC 🐕‍🦺🐾 At home, I share my life with two dogs — a Golden Retriever named Hannah and a Lab mix named Benny 🐶🐶 — plus cats 🐱🐱 Besides dogs, I absolutely love taking care of cats of all ages, from playful kittens to sweet seniors 😻 Animals bring me so much happiness, and I genuinely enjoy every moment I get to spend with them 🥰 I believe every pet is unique and deserves individualized care ✨ Senior pets are always welcome here 🤍🐾 They’ll get all the space, comfort, and quiet time they need 🛏️🌿 — and if they’re feeling up for some gentle playtime 🎾 or a nice walk 🚶‍♀️🐕, I’m happy to follow their lead and provide exactly what they want. Dogs in my care stay inside our home with us and our dogs 🏡🐾 — they’re part of the family, not kept separate. When outside, they’re always supervised in our fully fenced backyard 🌳🐕‍🦺. I typically don’t use kennels unless a dog is kennel trained and the owner asks me to use one for nighttime or when I leave the house 💤🏠. Dogs enjoy frequent potty breaks 🚪🐕, walks 🚶‍♀️, playtime 🎾, and lots of attention. Have a high-energy pup? I’m always up for extra exercise or even bike rides 🚲🐕💨 If your pet needs medication while in my care — antibiotics 💊, insulin 💉, anxiety meds 😌, or anything else — please be sure to bring it along. I’m happy to follow your instructions and make sure your pet stays comfortable and well cared for 🩺❤️ A Few Things to Know 🐾 All dogs must have a leash, harness and/or collar with ID tags 🐾 Last-minute bookings are welcome 🙌 🐾 Meet & greets are strongly preferred — please allow time for at least a 30-minute meet up 🤝 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations 💉 🐾 I’m unable to accept dogs that show aggressive behavior toward my kids or my pets Dog Boarding Info Boarding is like a comfy hotel stay 🏡🛏️ I’m flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible 😊 Drop-In Info I offer drop-ins starting at 6:00 AM ⏰🌅 Please allow a +/- 1 hour window around your requested time. What I’d Love to Know About Your Pet The more I know, the better the care! 🐾💬 🎾 Favorite toys (feel free to bring them!) 🐕 Any climbing, digging, or separation anxiety 🗣️ Special commands or cues 🏃 Exercise needs or restrictions 💊 Medications or special care needs 🍖 Food-motivated or attention-motivated? Any food aggression? I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐶🐱💛✨
